I played all the sports offered by St. Louis Bertrand with Raymond when we were kids. Lost track after grade school. I was in Anita's class at STLB. Charlotte and I ran into Mary Ann and Ray after I got out of the Navy and we lived in Arcade Apts. Since then we ran into you guys from time to time, most recently at the STLB reunion. Mary Ann you have our deepest sympathies. I wish we could have been closer friends. Ray was such a good guy.
